Starting TCP/IP Interfaces
TCP/IP interfaces are started in one of the following ways:
vThe Work with TCP/IP Interface Status displays are reached by:
–Option 1 on the Configure TCP/IP (CFGTCP) menu
–Option 1 on the Network Status (NETSTAT or WRKTCPSTS) menu
vThe Start TCP/IP Interface (STRTCPIFC) command
vUsing the Operations Navigator interface
Note: You can start TCP/IP interfaces through the Operations Navigator interface wizard. However, this chapter does not document any of the Operations Navigator functions. See the online help in Operations Navigator for this information.
To start a TCP/IP interface from the Work with TCP/IP Interface Status menu, type 9 in the option field for each interface that you want to start and press the Enter key.
To start a TCP/IP interface using the STRTCPIFC command, take these steps:
1.Type STRTCPIFC on the command line and press F4 (Prompt).
2.Type the Internet address of the interface that you want to start and press the Enter key.
Option 9 on the Work with TCP/IP Interface Status display is used to start both TCP/IP interfaces and Internet Protocol (IP) over Systems Network Architecture (SNA) interfaces. For information about starting IP over SNA interfaces, see the STRIPSIFC (Start IP over SNA Interface) command in Control Languages (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/pubs/html/as400/v5r1/ic2924/info/rbam6/ rbam6clmain.htm) in the Information Center. If you are using the Supplemental Manuals CD, then switch to the iSeries Information Center CD to access this information.
Note: When starting the first TCP/IP interface associated with an Integrated xSeries Server for iSeries (also known as File Server Input/Output Processor and FSIOP) network server description, a considerable amount of time may pass before the interface becomes active. This is because TCP/IP activation includes starting the network server. The amount of time that is required
